🧠 What if the secret to creativity is... misspelling words?

In Ep 2, @simplebits joins us again to talk about:
→ Naming fonts “Turbo” (but make it wrong on purpose)
→ LEGO-built logos
→ Puppets, orange peelers, and imposter syndrome

It’s the creative constraint episode you didn’t know you needed 🎧

Some important news: There are two new decals available in the shop. They’ll also be included in our Decal Pack for maximum savings.

At this point, probably best to follow me on Bluesky (and/or Threads and/or Mastodon) ✌️

Ordered a few fun stickers from @simplebits and was pleasantly surprised with a bonus of wildflower seeds and some other fun Tid Bits (that’s what you should call this, Dan)!

@JoernZander Top or bottom? 🤓

[Dan Cederholm @simplebits]

Long way to go with this one, but it’s already taking shape. #sbfonts

[Dan Cederholm @simplebits]

Measure twice, cut once. Learn it, know it, live it. New tee now available using our Paint Factory #sbfonts.

If zig-zaggy crossbars are too much, #sbfonts Hubano has boring alternates.

Our latest typeface, Hubano, inspired by Cuban cigar box lettering is now available. All-caps, extended language support, two styles: Regular and Rough. It was a blast zig-zagging those crossbars! #sbfonts

[Dan Cederholm @simplebits]

I'll often design a physical good as a specimen for these type releases, and for Hubano we made matchbooks—but instead of matches, they have 10 plantable, wildflower seed sticks. I'll probably throw one in with any goods order for a bit ;-) #marketing

My new typeface is out today! Hubano is a decorative display serif inspired by lettering on a Cuban cigar box. Wacky crossbars (but also boring alternates). For the next week get 15% off with code CROSSBAR #sbfonts
